Among the volumes descriptive of travel
and life abroad nothing has come from the
press during the past year more satisfactory
in substance than "Life Among the Ger
MANS" by Emma Louise Parry. In it we
are confined to a single country, and for that
reason it is the more complete. The author
made herself for the time one of the people.
She lived in their families and entered into
their ways of living. The result is an un-
derstanding of their spirit and traits of
character expressed in a series of pictures
and studies of the German people. The au-
thor went to Germany to study, and her
comparison of German and American mas
ters and schools is worth the price of the
book The domestic life there is simple, yet
the boys and girls are little men and women,
without that real child life and natural
freshness characteristic of American chill
dren This book is full of hints and sug-
gestions that will be of service to those in
tending to travel in or study Germany. It
has points upon all forms of life and teach
ing. D. Lothrop & Co., publishers, Boston.

John Darby, author of Thinkers and
Thinking" etc., has written book entitled
Nineteenth Century Sense: The Paradox
of Spiritualism. ''In the estimation of ev-
cry common sense person in the land Spiri-
tualism is the antipodes of Nineteenth Gen.
fury Sense;' the latter in the estimation of all
such people being the highest sense, the 9TH
er the lowest sense. Paradox is with the
two." To the mind of the writer Spiritual
ism is a matter about which much is to be
said. There is one way and only one way of
learning the subject, at least of feeling it,
